For someone else has taken on the Bourne identity—a ruthless killer who must be stopped or the world will pay a devastating price. To succeed, the real Jason Bourne must maneuver through the dangerous labyrinth of international espionage—an exotic world filled with CIA plots, turncoat agents, and ever-shifting alliances—all the while hoping to find the truth behind his haunted memories and the answers to his own fragmented past. This time there are two Bournes—and one must die.

Critic reviews

“Prime Ludlum. . . . No quiche and white wine here, just USDA Grade A prime—blood rare. . . . When it comes to robust, two-fisted novels of grandiose dimensions, relentless action and grinding violence, Mr. Ludlum is the undisputed champ. . . . The Bourne Supremacy is high-voltage entertainment and, white honestly, impossible to put down.”—The Washington Times Magazine

“A fast-paced, action-crammed thriller.”—Philadelphia Daily News

Kept this walker's mind occupied

I'm training for the Komen 3 day walk so that means hours and hours of walking every week. I downloaded the Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum and listened to them both in one weekend. I loved the reader's gritty voice and, although a little cheesy, I liked the background music. The stories themselves are compelling, but I didn't like the abridged nature of the stories, I could tell there was a lot being left out. I loved the involvement of Marie (his wife) and her strength and cunning as well. I would listen to these again, but for the Bourne Legacy I'm going to get the unabridged version.

A keeper

I was unable to put this one down. Found myself late for appointments as I sat in my car listening to to this spell binding narration

Loved It

Definitely worth the download. For that matter, get all three of the "Bourne" books.

A great book

A really fantastic book that is exciting and action packed. I found that this book is relatable and highly maturative for a young man coming of age like myself. I highly recommend this book.

Worst narration I've heard

The performance is read as one continuous run-on sentence with little indication of emphasis. I felt like the narrator was in a hurry to finish as fast as possible.
